The X-men run missions and work together with the NYPD, striving to maintain a peaceful balance between humans and mutants. When it comes to a fight, they won't back down from protecting those who need their help.
Haven presents itself as a humanitarian organization for activists, leaders, and high society, yet mutants are the secret leaders working to protect and serve their kind. Behind the scenes they bring their goals into reality.
From the time when mutants became known to the world, SUPER was founded as a black-ops division of the CIA in an attempt to classify, observe, and learn more about this new and rising threat.
The Syndicate works to help bring mutantkind to the forefront of the world. They work from the shadows, a beacon of hope for mutants, but a bane to mankind. With their guiding hand, humanity will finally find extinction.
Since the existence of mutants was first revealed in the nineties, the world has become a changed place. Whether they're genetic misfits or the next stage in humanity's evolution, there's no denying their growing numbers, especially in hubs like New York City. The NYPD has a division devoted to mutant related crimes. Super-powered vigilantes help to maintain the peace. Those who style themselves as Homo Superior work to tear society apart for rebuilding in their own image.

She did not understand how meditation could help her. She liked to think she was emotionally stable and calm. She knew the idea of meditation though she had never tried it herself. Still if their was someone she could help by doing so, then it would be worth it. She was not currently doing anything else anyway. A wolf man did sound sort of simmeler to her and maybe he could help in other ways. "I would not mind trying it." she said considering the person in front of her.
"I would fear for his safety however. I could accidentally hurt him or worse" she said reconsidering her quick acceptance. If she accidentally tour off this poor wolf guy's head meditating with him would be less then helpful. "Did you know a polar bear can a take man's head off with a swipe of it's paw?" she shivered at the thought looking down at her own hands as if expecting to see claws, but Mizuki quickly recomposed herself.
"Don't worry, i am sure you will figure out your mutation soon. Maybe bug powers!" she said trying to be encouraging. He was green, his eyes were not human and the antenna welll.....she had not quite processed those yet, but he certainly had to be able to do something.

it's entirely possible to meet out on the streets in both cases. however you would likely see her in polar bear mode in thoses cases. I can have her about to attack somone that darkshift can save.
Alva could encounter Mizuki on the streets, when mizuki goes back to human she does not keep her clothing which may attract attention

"well to be honest i have kept to myself. I'm not sure what causes my powers to happen and when they do theirs a good chance i can really hurt someone" she said honestly. It was a fear she had gotten after realizing what she had done.
"I can turn into a polar bear. However i lack control and well nothing to bad happened a polar bear can easily kill a person" she said a bit distressed by the thought she might hurt Someone before she gained control over the form.
It occurred to her as well that she had no idea how to turn back at all when she she did change. so if it did happen and she did gain control she could not tell anyone she was back under control. They had been lucky no one but her had gotten hurt lasttime but who knew where she might change. "My sister turns into a brown bear, together we totaled three class rooms in about five minutes" having seen the report and news coverage enough to know.

Mizuki is 12 and turns into a 1000 lb polar bear.
She could use a few threads to help get her established. She is going to be spending a lot of time in/near the mansion. Since she has little control over her power and it's tied to her fight or flight reflex a lot of fun can be had with a sudden hungry polar bear which mizuki can't quite control.
She is also new to America in general and being a mutant and has no real idea how to control her power.

"It's ok, sorry i screamed. I'm, still getting use to the people here. I just leaned i was mutant a few months ago. " she said feeling bad she had screamed at him but relieved she had not become the bear. That might have been a disaster and a really bad first impression, well a worse one then she had already set anyway.
"To be honest this is my first time out of Japan at all" she said looking around. Everything looked so different, but she could do this, she was strong, she told herself. This was like an exchange program and she knew it would not be forever. SHe would go home once she learned to grasp her powers safely, if that was possible at all.
"I have not met many of the staff yet but everyone seems nice and understanding, but your the first real conversation i have had here" she said but part of her was not sure they knew what she could do. She had spent a lot of time in the hospital looking up things on polar bears after the incident and knew their power.

Mizuki was completely lost in her own thoughts. At the sound of the voice she stopped and looked up at the person who was suddenly there. She was calm until she looked at his face. The red haunting red eyes, strange alien skin and the lack of ears made for a terrifying, monster under the bed type situation. Then without thought she screamed, loudly. Of all the mutants she had seen today, he had been by far the strangest and before today Mizuki had seen few mutants up close and personal before arriving at this school.
Mizuki quickly realized and forced herself to stop screaming. He was not a monster, no more then her. "watashi...watashi', kinodoku. I did ~shinai imi....anata see I have bakari seen...." Mizuki said babbling almost incoherently between languages and in apology. She felt terrible for screaming at him as he was likely just a mutant like her. She still found his face unsettling though, in fact Elliot looked a bit like the monster she thought lived under her bed for two years.
"Sorry! My Name is Mizuki, I just got here a few hours ago" Trying to Hide her embarrassment as well as a twelve year old could. She hoped her accent would not be to much trouble. She took a step back to better look at his face. He was certainly an adult as he was much taller then her.
She was going to have to get use to people like this she told herself. The nice counselor lady had told her as much on the phone. Visible mutants roamed the mansion as well and she had seen a few in the hours she had been here but none so strange and alien. Still her father would have told her he still deserved respect and that it was not his fault he was this way any more then what her and her sister could do was their fault. At the thought she itches her back over the scar nervously.

She had arrived early in the day and Mizuki did not think it was much past noon. Barely in the USA for a day yet and she already missed home. She was pretty sure this was for the best though and her parents had agreed. Two young emotional girls who could turn into large bear's was not safe together. The bear's fury still fresh in her mind, her fingers stroked her back, the scars hidden by her t-shirt. They had taken almost two months to fully heal and the doctors had told her she was lucky their was no spinal damage.
She tried to shake her doubts from her head and focused on the lovely open surroundings. Some one seemed to look after them well and even the mansion itself was huge and dominantly but still looked warm and friendly, something that most people she had met seemed to share as well. She had done her best to keep her distance from the people though. As friendly as they were she was not entirely sure how her power triggerd yet and did not want to find out after she killed or worse, ate someone.
She walked toward the gate though she had promised not to leave the premises quite yet, in part do to age and in part because her passport was an emergency one and the robots the nyc employed still needed to be updated for her..
It was going to be a strange and scary experience but maybe these people could help her control or eliminate her power. She could only hope and that small hope brought a smile to the young girls face, as instead of going in she decided to walk a long the fence line of the mansion.

Character
Personality: She tries to be very polite and respectful in her manners. She is kind and caring to those around her and will try and help put those around her. Her twin sister however was particularly good at getting under her skin.
Mizuki is an over achiever if asked to do things she will do her best to do it in the best possible way she can. In this light she can often take on to much work or help to many people. Failure usually leaves her sad and apologetic but she normally bounces a back well.
Since the brutal incident with her sister she has become much more withdrawn and scared of being around people. SHe believes herself to be extremely dangerous, to the point of requesting being sent to the Xavoir school so she would not further endanger her family. She wants a cure or a way to turn her power off, being entirely terrified of herself and her power.
Hobbies/ Interests:
Job or part time job and description: School
Fears/ phobias/ concerns: Her powers
Special talents: She is a straight A student
Morality Mizuki is a good person who simply wants to help. The idea of hurting or killing another person is a deeply sad thought to her. She would never steal and tends to give people the benefit of the doubt.She would try and help someone if they were getting robbed but would try to do so so that no one got hurt.
Good/ bad/ neutral/ other: Good. Mizuki while a bit depressed and afraid of herself, is more afraid of hurting others then herself. Knowing her sister liked to get under her skin, she requested to be sent to Xavoir's schools to prevent a second incident.
Mutations
Mutation description: Polar Bear Shifting. She can shift into a much bigger Bear form granting her the strength, speed and instincts as an actual polar bear.
Strengths: When in Polar bear mode Mizuki weighs in at just over 1'000 lbs and can stand over 10 feet tall. She also gains a bite force of over 1,100 lbs per square inch and a set of six inch claws on each hand capable of doing quick, brutal damage. The cold no longer bothers her and she can swim four hours without need for a break. She is much faster and tougher and stronger then a human as well being the largest land predator on earth. She also gains the instincts and aggressiveness of an actual polar bear which can help her with dangerous situations. She can flip a car or lift over 600 pounds when transformed and a layer of blubber makes her skin able to take damage better then a human.
The bear mind weighs on her even when she has control making her more confident and aggressive. While still very unlikely to kill she is much more apt to rough them up
Weaknesses and Limitations:
Polar bears can get heat stroke in a matter of hours in temperatures much above 50F. The transformation eats up a lot of calories in her body, making her hungry after changing. As such she can not transform if she does not have enough energy built up in her body threw food. The result being that Mizuki takes in roughly five times the food an average teenager might after a transformation.
Mizuki's power is triggerd through being scared, fear and anger and is tied into her fight or flight reflex. This makes her own fear of her power only make the issue worse as it increases how much danger her mind believes her to be in. Her need to overachieve and the stress of doing so also plays into fears.
Mizuki must also fight the instincts of the bear for control and until she gains mental dominance of the bears instincts, she is prone to acting exactly as a near full grown Polar bear would and since a change eats up a lot of calories, often a hungry bear willing to eat any prey it finds handy, including Friend's. If not hungry and their is a way out however the bear will typically try and flee to a place with fewer people around.
Physical Abilities
General Physical Capabilities: Mizuki is not very strong or quick as a human and has no physical defense training at all. Her options are basically flight or polar bear mode.
Fighting Style: Polar bear
Fighting Style Pros/Cons: She is very strong but control can be an isue.
History Of Your CharacterMizuki grew up in a strict Japanese household when it came to academics. Mizuki liked school however and usually got very good grades. Her twin sister was much more the class clown and cared far less for grades much to their parents annoyance. While her sister did try to get under her skin Mizuki got used to it and normally took it in stride. Mizuki had friends and few people disliked her as she would help almost anyone.
Her father often went on long business trips to America and Australia so the girls were raised by their Mom much of the time. on their ninth birthday Mizuki's sister gave her a live garden snake as a present which Mizuki threw box and all in freight.
Nether girl knew they were Mutants until their 11th birthdays when at school they got into a loud, heated verbal fight. Filled with anger and scared of her angry sister and the trouble they were likely in for being so loud and disrupting classes. Mizuki turned into her polar bear form as her sister turned into a grizzly bear. Unable to gain control and in a tight space the pair fought one another would complete savagery. The fight caused a considerable amount of damage and ended with Mazuki hospitalized deep claw marks in her back from her sister.
Now 12 and healed she is eager to restart her schooling and find help for her power. Believing her power dangerous and knowing her sister would likely try and provoke her despite the danger she and her parents decided that Xavoir's school might be best for her.
Roleplay
Where did you learn about this site?:I am Aura, Goddess of peace!
Do you have any other characters on MRO, if so who: Formerly Aura
Sample RP:
Mizuki's face burned in anger as she looked at her sister feeling, the cold wet stain on the back of her uniform. Her sister thought it was funny. Get her sister yelled at for a stain, just like she had hid her homework the night before and almost made her late to class. Her sister usually did not go this far and the thought on punching her sister echoed in her mind.
Mizuki was to furious to notice as her vision had sharpened even as some of the color, seemed to fade. She began to grow worried when she visibly saw her sister shrinking in front of her. She was about to ask about this when she felt her head hit the ceiling hard. And her words came out as a roar of challenge. She moved her hand's and felt power and she moved heer still forming paw in front of her face.
It was then she felt instincts that were strange and new. Hunger and it was so hot. Find food and find somewhere colder, she needed to do these things. Instead she heard an answering roar and felt something big and heavy strike her shoulder, something gave way under her as she fell on her back, it did not matter. She needed to eat and before thats she had to drive this other bear away. As the Brown bear approached, Mizuki swung her giant paw, the thought occurring she could eat the other bear if she killed it. She rolled onto her feet and rose onto her back legs again her head hit the ceiling.
